I managed to survive our little jaunt to the mall this morning. However, it was also this morning that I finally figured out that the new moisturizer I’ve been using for the past week (Origins Matte Scientist which is really good stuff. For someone else’s face.) is actually drying my skin out worse than what it was previously without any additional help, so I got to go out in public looking like I’d come straight from a chemical peel. With straight hydrochloric acid. *sigh* So it’s back to the drawing board once again to find a moisturizer that doesn’t aggravate my super-duper sensitive skin and actually does what I need it to do. I figure I have a better chance of finding the Holy Grail before I find a moisturizer that fits the bill. The good news is that if you ever need to know what a moisturizer is like before you buy it, you can come straight to me for the skinny because there’s more than a good chance I’ve managed to try it once or twice on my quest for something to slather on my face.
You know that you are totally a sleep deprived parent when you’re practically squee-ing with glee over the fact that it looks like you may actually make it into bed before 11pm for the first time in about 3 weeks. This semi makes up for the fact that I actually woke up on my own and was coherent for about a half hour at 6am this morning. Why I woke up then I have no idea–perhaps my mind felt like being contemplative all introspective or something along those lines. I can remember the waking up part and just lying in bed enjoying the quiet and thinking, but as for what I thought about for a half hour…yeah, not so much.
Now look out for the awkward and abrupt conclusion to this little helping of mind garbage. It’s 10:34 baby and I’ve got a warm bed to go crawl into. Thank you heating pad!
